One reviewer wrote: “I have had this feeder for one week and I can’t believe the amount and variety of birds that have already visited. Cardinals, Blue Jays, Finches, Wrens, Doves, Chickadees, Woodpecker, Robins, Blackbirds, Sparrows, and even a family of 10 turkeys!!! Not to mention all of the bunnies that come to visit in the evening to eat the seed that has fallen to the ground. No squirrels or chipmunks have been able to get into this feeder either, despite their attempts! The feeder is sturdy, attractive and can feed up to five birds at once. The wraparound bar can hold even the bigger birds like Blue Jays and Doves. I am so pleased with this feeder that I plan on purchasing another!”

One reviewer wrote: “This is a great value and a beautiful birdfeeder. Very easy to put together and the birds love it just make sure to put the water dish in a location away from the birdfeeders otherwise they drop the feed into the water. I have a squirrel buster bird feeder I put on one side and then the birdfeeder that came with it on the other side and then I fill up the dish with bird feed and I haven’t yet put out the suet feeder, but plan to once I get the feed for it. The birds just absolutely love it though and I think the price is just amazing if I had another location I would buy another one.”

One reviewer wrote: “My wife and I have been very pleased with how this bird feeder allows the birds to feed while keeping the squirrels at bay. The squirrels have tried — man have they tried — to rob this bird feeder, but they gave up after several weeks of various assault tactics, all of which failed. We have this bird feeder mounted on a 24” rod, which extends from one of the support posts on our front porch. I highly recommended this bird feeder to anyone who has been tempted to give up on feeding the birds due to pesky squirrels.”
